pfm Rees was the presumed starter but Golson (a sophmore) had been getting talked up (even prior to Rees' suspension). - Stephen Aug 1, 11:38 2
- thx - prayformojo Aug 1, 11:44 1
  - In the end it turned out to be more stressful than hard. Tickets went on sale at 5:30 am (my time), so I was up and logged into the ticket system by 5 - Stephen Aug 1, 11:57

        Tebow barely threw the ball and didn't play a full season. Not a fair comparison but I get your point. - Krusty Aug 1, 11:54
- Great deal if he was basically free. I don't trust Green and since the Jets can't throw the ball someone is going to have to run with it. - Krusty Aug 1, 11:36 1

I just traded my soul for a parking space in town tonight. why on earth is parking so tough right now? it's freaking summer. -- nm - Huan Van de Camp-Jiminez Aug 1, 11:29 17
- You got it back from the last one you traded it to? -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 11:31
- heh. I got a call yesterday from someone wanting to rent a parking space. - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 11:31 5

        I lose my parking spot in Nov. (rezoned the property). All the parking around me is metered. It's going to suck -- nm - decline Aug 1, 11:54

The Rays have released Hideki Matsui. - nubby Aug 1, 11:23 6
- Abreu was designated for assignment as well. - spamlet Aug 1, 11:27 2
  - Fat Bobby? Say it ain't so. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:32
  - I do not think it is coincidence that Abreu started tailing off hard about the time the roids crackdown started. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 1, 11:28
- :-( He'll always be loved here. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 11:25 2
  - one or two more injuries, and he will find his way back there. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 1, 11:25 1

In other news, the CBC gets the Olympics back for 2014 and 2016. -- (link) - Reagen Aug 1, 11:12 8
- Does CBC do a better job than NBC? -- nm - ceregon Aug 1, 11:14 7
  - They're stellar. The benchmark. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 1, 11:26
  - um, yes. Canadian broadcasters show the games live, then again in primetime if it differs. -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 11:16 4
    - brilliant idea - why isn't NBC doing that? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 1, 11:22 3
      - $$$$ - Krusty Aug 1, 11:28 2
        
        The ratings would drop for the evening replay and the sponsors would be upset. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 11:30 1
        
        But the Olympics here are shown on commercial TV. And in Australia. -- nm - Roger More Aug 1, 11:36
  - CBC does have the NFC factor going for it. -nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 11:15

    - no. this was last year I sold those. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 11:32 7
      - Topps Tribute -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:33 6
        
        We ripped a review box of Tribute this year (I didn't, but my buddy did) - Jim Aug 1, 11:35 4
        
        That's good stuff.... - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:37
        
        Like a splinter from the bat? - amoxy Aug 1, 11:36 2
        
        Like a wood the size of a quarter most of the time. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:37 1
        
        BAH!!! -- nm - Satan Aug 1, 11:42
        
        yeah I think that was it. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 11:34
- Or feed us with this money -- nm - 10 starving families in Sudan Aug 1, 11:18 1
  - But where is the profit in that? -- nm - scalpers Aug 1, 11:19
- Think it is a case, depends on what is guranteed in the case. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 11:18 3
  - Problem is, the 2nd hand market is shit for most products except for the 1-2 mega hits. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:22 2
    - Agreed. I never did cards as the market was too fickle. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 11:26 1
      - I've had to break my habit of buying blind....boxes almost never pan out. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:28
- I am in the wrong liine of work. geez. -- nm - znufrii Aug 1, 11:18
- Wait a second. Is that $175 for a *box*, which is craaaaazy, or $175 for a *pack* of 15 cards, which is F**KING BANANAS. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:16 10
  - 3 packs of cards with 5 cards in each pack. Yeah, it's insane. -- nm - Jim Aug 1, 11:19 5
    - HOLY FRAKKING JEEBUS. That's over $10 *per CARD*. - musubi Aug 1, 11:21 4
      - That's why I enjoy my review boxes so much. I'd never rip this stuff if I was paying for it. -- nm - Jim Aug 1, 11:23 3
        
        do you think you are cool talking all collector like and shit? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 1, 11:23 2
        
        No, I think I'm cool because I'm fucking cool! -- nm - Jim Aug 1, 11:25 1
        
        You "think" you are? - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 11:34
  - 3 packs in a box? - groiny Aug 1, 11:19 2
    - A lot of products only have 1 pack boxes. -- nm - Jim Aug 1, 11:20 1
      - yeah...that what I was talking about above. I have a couple of card guys that buy that stuff. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 11:32
  - It is a box. 5x3 per Jim's review. -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 11:16
- For any cards, that's asnine. -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 11:15 22
  - I have paid that before, but I got a lot of good shit in it. - groiny Aug 1, 11:19 21
    - At my heroxlix peak I bought 15 cases at $135 per. - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 11:25 2
      - sucker. We sell cases for $95. - Remlik Aug 1, 11:34 1
        
        Not those. Back when cases were *real* cases. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 11:35
    - Wha?!? I mean, seriously, if you get an autograph in every pack, how valuable can they really be? (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:20 17
      - Depends on who you get. I just sold a Ric Flair auto for $125. It was # 1/1. Sold a Natalie Coughlin auto before the Olympics for $33. - Jim Aug 1, 11:22 15
        
        I simply don't understand the market for these cards. Does anyone still make cheap cards that I can buy for about a buck? - musubi Aug 1, 11:26 14
        
        Yeah, they actually do. I reviewed a box of Baseball cards just recently like that. Um... - Jim Aug 1, 11:29 3
        
        Here's my review...if my boys gave a shit, we'd have collected this one. -- (link) - Jim Aug 1, 11:31
        
        Awesome. That's what I'm talking about. Screw collecting for value. - musubi Aug 1, 11:31 1
        
        Yeah, this set has a Mascot subset...it has cards where a player gives tips on baseball skills - Jim Aug 1, 11:33
        
        Topps does....their base set is about bottom dollar. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:27 5
        
        I'm not looking for value. I'm looking for enjoying opening a pack to see if your favorite player is in there. - musubi Aug 1, 11:30 4
        
        the joy now is not in the cards, it is the inserts. - groiny Aug 1, 11:31 2
        
        That is a shame. I probably still have a billion Topps 88 Alfredo Griffin cards in my parents house somewhere. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:34 1
        
        A billion more and we've started to remove the glut of Topps 88 Alfredo Griffins that exist. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:40
        
        I hope you like stars cuz they don't do cards for everyone. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:31
        
        silly moose, baseball cards aren't for kids anymore -- nm - the human tater tot Aug 1, 11:27
        
        nope. - groiny Aug 1, 11:27 2
        
        Damn. Two bucks just for cheap card stock. Collectors have ruined baseball cards. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:29 1
        
        yup, I started to hate the business right about the time my shop bit the dust. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 1, 11:30
      - those particular boxes were like 24 packs in a box. - groiny Aug 1, 11:22
- Given the prices for massive short printed inserts...you'd need to get a 1 out of 25 top-tier autograph to make that money back. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:15 3
  - Nope...Petty stuff from 2011 Showcase is selling in the $30 range. This surprises me...I mean, who's more of an icon in Nascar than Richard Petty? - Jim Aug 1, 11:19 2
    - Petty is short-listed for most autographs ever. If you're a racing fan, you've probably had the chance to get one or two by accident. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:21 1
      - Yeah, I did a "Richard Petty auto*" search on Ebay and there were hundreds of them. -- nm - Jim Aug 1, 11:22
Was (is?) Tomm Rees supposed to be Notre Dame's starting QB this season? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 11:11 7
- He was the starter last year, but I think they have a hotshot freshman coming in to compete for the spot. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:13 6
  - This is the kid who spurned LSU. -- nm - Other David Aug 1, 11:22
  - He's the next Ron Powlus! -- nm - Beano si Aug 1, 11:19
  - This kid.... (link) - musubi Aug 1, 11:14 3
    - That's a maure looking 18 year old; like Steve Zahn's younger brother mature looking. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:16 2
      - Given it's ND football, I'll let you fill in if I missed the "t" or the "n" in the maure in the first line. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:17 1
        
        I first read it as "mauve" and was thinking "he doesn't look light purple to me." (nm - musubi Aug 1, 11:18
